Occidental oil proposed

CO2 to ethylene pilot plant

Recently, Occidental Petroleum announced that its subsidiary Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV) and biotechnology company Cemvita Factory plan to build a bioethylene pilot plant to produce ethylene monomer from artificial carbon dioxide
.
The pilot plant, which has a ethylene capacity of 1 tonne/month, will produce bioethylene from carbon dioxide, water and light, and is scheduled to be commissioned
in 2022.
This technology is more competitive
with the hydrocarbon production of ethylene process.

Cemvita's chief technology officer, Tara Karimi, said the key to the process is to use a gene from a banana and genetically engineer it into
Cemvita's microbes.

Robert Zeller, vice president of OLCV technology, said that if the experiment is successful, the project will provide Occidental with another source of ethylene for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

In the initial pilot phase, it is planned to purchase CO2 from local gas suppliers, and in the future CO2 from natural gas combustion will be used, as well as CO2
captured from the atmosphere.
